Alternate headline: Sequels Still Running Train on Hollywood

Sam Jackson recently told MTV News that he's working on getting together a sequel to The Long Kiss Goodnight with Reny Harlin. The Long Kiss Goodnight came out in 1996 and starred Geena Davis as basically the female version of Jason Bourne. Jackson played the lovable black guy.

I'm torn on this one. On one hand, making a second Long Kiss Goodnight is about as ridiculous as making a second Last Boyscout. On the other hand, as far as crappy action movies go, I'll take a LKG or a Last Boyscout over Jerry Bruckheimer any day - at least they're good for a one-liner every now and then. See my favorites, after the jump.

Favorite Last Boyscout one-liner: (Bruce Willis on the phone after waking up in his car and finding a dead squirrel that the neighborhood kids have stuck through the window) "What the happened to you last night?" "I don't know. I think I might have f***ed a squirrel to death."

Favorite Long Kiss Goodnight one-liner: (Sam Jackson, responding to Geena Davis' question about about whether he's ever bitten the ear of a virgin while making love to her to take her mind off the other pain) "Naw, I usually punch 'em in the neck and yell 'Pop goes the weasel!'"

    April 24, 2008
    35 years ago, "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" was at the top of the charts. Its performer, Jim Croce, died in a plane crash the same year. It was tragic he wouldn't live to fully enjoy his fame, but perhaps more tragic that he'll never get to see the "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" action-comedy... / Continue →

    As far as movies about Hayden Christensen teleporting to famous landmarks then standing around looking arrogant go, this actually looks pretty decent. Maybe part of my optimism stems from the assurance it provides that, if a teleporting Hayden Christensen were to even spawn, I ... / Continue →
